Hello, everyone. Lily here. Ok, I guess you're wondering who's attacking? Well, you'll be able to figure it out pretty well. I guess I needed a bit of a kick to make things more interesting. Besides, I needed a bad guy, or girl, to show up.
*Mirai sweatdrops* But.....not all your stories have villains in it though.
*Glaring at her mate* You're point being? Besides, I needed a good way for Inuyasha and Kagome to make up after their fight. And what better way that if Kagome was hurt?
*Mirai sweatdrops* You're odd.
*Smirking at her mate* But you still love me. Anyway, on to the disclaimer part. As always the ONLY things I own are my mate, my Mystic clone, my Neil clone, my Gambit clone, my Kou clone, and my new pet, my Demi-Demon Doggie clone, or my Inuyasha clone.
Nothing more. And no, you can't have any of them!
Enjoy the story!

Chapter 8- " Jealousy "
by Lily
"Sango!" Kagome cried as the dark haired woman was thrown backwards into the forest wall behind them. Sango slumped to the ground unconscious, the bits and pieces of the tree she had hit around her. Kagome whipped back around the snarl at the woman infront of her, before glancing sideways at Sesshoumaru who was strugging to free himself from the insect-like spirits that wrapped around his body, preventing him from both escaping and helping Kagome. The pups stood behind their mother, trembling as they held onto the fabric of her kimono as she snarled at the woman again.
"So. The rumors are true. I see. But this changes nothing." Kikyo said, glancing at the pups behind Kagome.
"Kaori, Kaiya, I want you two to run as far away from here as you can. Find your father and Uncle Miroku. Hurry." Kagome said, still growling at the priestess before her.
"But Mama-" Kaori began before Kagome snapped at her son.
"Go. Now! Do as I say, Kaori!" Kagome said, as the little hanyou boy stepped slowly away from his mother, before shaking his head and turning and running with his twin away from his mother.
"Hmm. They shall not get far. Naraku will want them himself, I suppose. It's you I must dispose of first, girl." Kikyo said as she stared at Kagome.
"Kikyo, there's no way in hell I'm going to let you lay a finger on my pups!" Kagome said as she bared her claws and fangs and lunged at Kikyo, who moved to the side at the last minute and in a flash of light, Kagome was slammed backwards into the nearest tree, denting it slightly. She growled as she tried lunging at Kikyo again, only to have the same result of another tree.
"I though perhaps Inuyasha had come to his senses when you had disappeared these past three years, but I see I was mistaken. Those would be his pups, I suppose?" Kikyo asked as Kagome climbed to her feet, growling at Kikyo.
"Not that it's any of *your* concern, witch." Kagome spat. Kikyo's brow narrowed and Kagome was thrown backwards into the remains of the same tree she had just hit a moment before, splintering it slightly once more.
"You forget, girl. I will always hold Inuyasha's loyalty." Kikyo said.
"You're wrong. You're not tha same Kikyo he cared for fifty years ago! That Kikyo is dead. You're nothing but a monster now." Kagome said.
"Monster am I? This coming from you?" Kikyo asked. She waved her hand slightly in the air and Kagome was suddenly fighting to free herself from the spirits as they wound tighter and tighter around her body, making it harder to breathe.
"I may not be.....fully human anymore.....but that.....that's something you could never.....never understand......Even fifty years ago you.....you could never love Inuyasha.....as.....as he was.....You.....you wanted him to use the jewel to.....to become fully human.....But that's where we're.....we're different......I love him.....for who he is, not.....not what he is. What he may be.....what he may be doesn't matter to me.....which is why I.....why I hold his heart now and forever and.....and you do *not* Kikyo!" Kagome said between gasps of air.
Kikyo started to grow angry as she violently threw the tied up Kagome against the tree, splitting it in half and splintering the one behind it.
"We'll see how he feels when he comes to find you dead before him, girl! I will show him that by loving us, he's already killed us both! Now, it's your turn." Kikyo said in a deadly calm voice.
"Kikyo! Let her go!" Inuyasha cried, lunging at Kikyo with the Tetseiga wielded infront of him. Kikyo jumped backwards out of the way, but not before the blade grazed her cheek, and a small trickle of blood fell from the cut.
"You would strike me? To protect her?" Kikyo asked, bringing her hand to her cheek as Inuyasha growled at her.
"Damn right, I would." Inuyasha said. Miroku stood next to him, his right hand outstretched and prepared to use his wind tunnel.
"I see. Naraku will want to hear of your mongrel pups, anyhow Inuyasha. You shall still die, and by my hands. But now is not the time." Kikyo said, and in a blinding flash of light, she was gone.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha cried, rushing over to his mate, and picking her up gently in his arms as he looked down at her. He gently wiped a strand of ebony hair to the side of her face as she looked up at him.
"The pups?" Kagome gasped out.
"They're fine. Shippou took them to Kaede's hut." Inuyasha said.
"Sango? Sesshoumaru? Are they-?" Kagome began.
"Miroku's checking on Sango, and Sesshoumaru is fine. What about you? What happened?" Inuyasha asked, slowly starting to help her to her feet. Kagome winced as she struggled to stand up.
"She appeared out of nowhere. Before I knew what was happening, she had knocked out Sango and she had already wrapped up Sesshoumaru. It was me she was after anyway. We were totally caught off guard." Kagome said.
"Don't worry about it-" Inuyasha began as Kagome looked up at him, her eyes dancing dangerously.
"Don't worry about it? She was going to go after the pups after she was finished with me!" Kagome said.
"It's alright though. They're safe, and you are too-" Inuyasha began.
"Thanks to you and Miroku." Kagome muttered, swaying slightly as she leaned against her mate.
"She didn't expect us. We'll just make sure to keep closer from now on. But do you see now? Why I wanted you to go home so badly? It's much safer there, for you and the pups." Inuyasha said softly.
"No. I can't leave you. You were doing worse without me. You need me to help you defeat Naraku, maybe now more than ever. Especially with Kikyo now helping him." Kagome said.
"But you-" Inuyasha said.
"I would have been able to handle her if I hadn't been caught off guard. I'm a Miko too, remember?" Kagome said.
"We'll worry about this later. I'm taking you back to the hut. Can you walk?" Inuyasha asked.
"I-" Kagome began, before she suddenly blacked out, and collapsed as Inuyasha swiftly moved to catch her from hitting the ground. He sighed deeply as he swept her into his arms, and still carrying her, walked over to check on Miroku and Sango.
"Are you alright?" Miroku asked, as Sango rubbed her head, but graciously accepted Miroku's hand. She swayed as she stood up, and waited for the dizziness to pass as Inuyasha walked over to them, carrying Kagome in his arms.
"Kagome!" Sango cried.
"Is she alright, Inuyasha?" Miroku asked as Inuyasha looked down at his mate in concern.
"I think she's just a little worn out from facing Kikyo herself. We need to get her back to the village immediately. I don't know how serious she may be hurt." Inuyasha said.
"Even as a hanyou, she is hurt pretty severely. You may want to rush her to the old woman's hut. We shall meet you there. Go." Sesshoumaru said with a growl of pain as he rubbed the sides of his waist.
"Do me a favor? Hold her for a second. But be careful." Inuyasha said as Sesshoumaru looked at his half-brother strangely, but took the girl anyhow. Inuyasha took of the top half of his kimono off and wrapped it around his mate, before taking her back into his arms. He mumbled his thanks to Sesshoumaru, before taking off towards the village.
